Israel will be the catalyst for ww3, that is a given.
A rogue nuclear armed state with zero regard for the rule of law, an institutionalized doctrine of superiority, hyper militarized and led by psychopaths and war criminals --- what could go wrong ?
The ME will be just one theatre for the war though unless Israel is taken out with a devastating first strike. Otherwise it is just a matter of time before it goes global.
They mean business and are preparing.
The uncertainty imo is the primary cause for the overall shaky market conditions
Russia ready to strike NATO airfields hosting Ukrainian jets – MP
The head of Kiev’s air force, Sergey Golubtsov, previously stated that some F-16s donated to his country will be based abroad
Any airfields hosting Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets, whether they are in or outside the country, will be legitimate targets for the Russian military if they participate in combat missions against Moscow’s forces, the chairman of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee, Andrey Kartapolov, has warned.
The comments come as Kiev prepares to receive the first delivery of US-made fighter jets from its Western backers, after Ukrainian pilots were trained to fly them.
In a statement to RIA Novosti published on Monday, Kartapolov clarified that if the F-16s“are not used for their intended purpose”or are simply held in storage at foreign airbases with the intent to transfer them to Ukraine, where they will be equipped, maintained, and flown from Ukrainian airfields, then Russia would have no claims against its“former partners”and would not target them.
However, if the jets take off from foreign bases and carry out sorties and strikes against Russia
Kremlin calls US ‘an enemy’ for first time
Dmitry Peskov previously referred to Washington and its allies as “unfriendly states” or “opponents”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred to the United States as an“enemy”while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, in an apparent hardening of rhetoric between the two countries.
It remains unclear if the use of the word signals an official policy change, as the spokesman had previously argued that only President Vladimir Putin can make such decisions.
Washington’s refusal to allow former US marine, UN weapons inspector and RT contributor Scott Ritter to travel to St. Petersburg was“the latest manifestation of the rabid campaign to prevent US citizens from interacting with the Russian Federation”– which would only be “understandable” if it was somehow related to his former intelligence status, Peskov told journalists on Tuesday.
“We are now an enemy country for them – much like they are for us,”Peskov said, while acknowledging that restrictions applying to former intelligence officers, especially on travel"to a hostile country,”are common across the world.

"Russians on Kremlin State TV yesterday declared that Mexico was their military ally and they arewanting to place their missiles on Mexican territory so Mexico can attack the United States," Jake Broe, a former U.S. Air Force nuclear and missile operations officer, stated on X Sunday. "This is insane."
Days prior to this, Russian media pundits suggested Moscow should deploy nuclear-capable ballistic missiles inthe Caribbeanin response to NATO countries giving Kiev the greenlight to attack inside Russian territory using Western-supplied weapons. Is it so "insane" that this would be threatened? Or would it be a natural reaction for any country at a time enemy missiles are deployed right up against their borders?
